Especially for developer-types, having lots of VMs running is a thing. That takes up quite a bit of RAM, disk, and CPU. 16 GiB RAM just doesn't cut it these days.

Really? Why do you need lots of VMs? Back when I did front end stuff I used Vagrant, so that's one, but maybe I weren't a real developer.

Now days I work with embedded stuff and only reason some people run VMs is that some clients use VPNs that require Windows, so they are running Linux on top of Windows, but again that's just one VM.
